سينما الحرب و الذاكرة الجماعية

Abstract EN

From the point of view that cinema reinvents and formulates history, according to the vision and reading of its owners, this article seeks to question the relationship that links French and Algerian cinema to historical events, in particular the Algerian revolution, and the violence that preceded or contemplated it (by the French colonizer) or demonstrations and uprisings (of the Algerian people), and it also aims to reveal the reasons that pushed filmmakers in France to work to distort the facts, and to try to show the French side as the European saving hero, who has found no way to defend himself and his civilization, except the use of force.
